The bronze skeleton of a polar bear is covered in a wooden box on a square in Copenhagen late December 17, 2009. The bronze skeleton, hosted by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), was covered with ice and partly melted down over the past weeks to highlight climate change in the arctic region. Copenhagen is the host city for the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009, which lasts from December 7 until December 18.
